World's greatest democracy still can't get democracy right

What the hell do Americans find so hard about having polling stations stay open until all of those who arrived before closing get a chance to vote??   Why do we see so regularly this theatre of urgent applications to judges to get the polling station to stay open to let long delayed voters vote?

From around George Bush senior onward pretty much all elections have been rigged. There has been fixed elections prior to that but the rigging was more locally based. So for example Chicago was given to Kennedy which was decisive in his competition with Vice President Nixon. Its not a Democracy any more. Its an oligarchy pretending to be a democracy.

When you have coronavirus then allow voting over several days.
